Dihuang Yizhi Formula for treating vascular dementia with kidney essence deficiency syndrome in plateau areas
To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Dihuang Yizhi Formula in treating vascular dementia (VD) with kidney essence deficiency syndrome in plateau areas.
Methods
2
VD patients with kidney essence deficiency syndrome were randomly assigned to either a treatment group or a control group, with a total of 128 participants evenly divided into 64 patients per group. The treatment group received oral Dihuang Yizhi Formula, while the control group was given oral piracetam tablets. Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. Changes in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores, Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), mini-mental state examination (MMSE), activities of daily living (ADL) scale, and Zarit burden interview (ZBI) scores were compared between the two groups. Adverse reactions were also observed.
Results
2
①A total of 118 patients completed the trial, with 58 in the treatment group and 60 in the control group. ②Intra-group comparisons showed that TCM syndrome scores decreased significantly in both groups after treatment (
P
<
0.05). Inter-group comparisons after treatment showed that the decrease was more significant in the treatment group than in the control group (
P
<
0.05). Both groups showed significant improvement in the main symptom of memory decline after treatment (
P
<
0.05), and the treatment group also showed significant improvements in secondary symptoms such as soreness and weakness of the lumbar and knees, and tinnitus (
P
<
0.05). Inter-group comparisons after treatment showed that the treatment group had greater improvement in these secondary symptoms including soreness and weakness of the lumbar and knees, and tinnitus than the control group (
P
<
0.05), but differences in the improvement of the main symptom were not statistically significant (
P
>
0.05). ③Intra-group comparisons showed that MoCA scores increased in both groups (
P
<
0.05), while ADL and ZBI scores decreased (
P
<
0.05) after treatment. Inter-group comparisons after treatment demonstrated that the treatment group had significantly greater increase in MoCA scores (
P
<
0.05) and more significant decreases in ADL and ZBI scores (
P
<
0.05). ④No severe adverse reactions were observed in either group during the trial.
Conclusion
2
Dihuang Yizhi Formula can effectively improve TCM syndromes and cognitive function in VD patients with kidney essence deficiency syndrome in plateau areas, with good safety.
